Construction began in September 2006. The Seoul City Naming Committee proposed "Amsa Bridge" after Amsa-dong, while Guri proposed "Guri Bridge"; the committee settled on "Guri–Amsa Bridge" on 27 August 2008. The bridge opened provisionally on 21 November 2014 together with Yongma Tunnel, and all entrance and exit ramps were finished on 29 June 2015.
The name was a compromise: the Seoul City Naming Committee proposed "Amsa Bridge" after Amsa-dong in Gangdong, while Guri proposed "Guri Bridge", and the committee settled on Guri–Amsa on 27 August 2008. Locals on both banks use it as a direct link between Gangdong-gu, Guri and Jungnang-gu.
The bridge experiences heavy vehicle use during daytime hours, particularly at morning and evening rush times. Pedestrians and cyclists should be aware that this crossing is primarily designed for motor vehicles.
